My co-worker just went to Jardiniere last night for the first of Monday night prix fixe dinners at Jardiniere. She was so sweet to pass along the menu because a) she knew I would totally ask the details of her whole meal and b) she thought I might want to go for one of their upcoming Monday dinners. Each Monday (see dates below), Jardiniere will be offering a 3 course prix fixe meal and the best part folks, $45 includes the alcohol pairing! Now I say "alcohol" because one of the dinners is actually whiskey themed. It could be interesting but probably not up my alley. I'm more interested in the food – anyone up for just drinking my whiskey? 
Here are the details for the upcoming events:
